Warm Wishes for a chill brr-thday

1/29/24 Top Pick at Make My Monday Challenge Blog!

Hey everybody! Happy Monday – I hope you had a great weekend! I’m stoked to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share that I created with the new oh-so-cute Penguin Party Collection! This pop up block card has quickly become one of my favorite fun folds and I used some clear acetate on the front of this one for these cuties to hang out on with their string of fish! Totally love how it turned out! If you like the Keep It Simple products I’ve used and are inclined to shop, be sure to use my discount code LoveToScrap2 at checkout to save 10% on your entire order!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Arctic Blue cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating papers in the Penguin Party 12×12 Collection Pack and the Back To Basics Jade 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped the sentiment and images from the Penguins Collection Stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the images with alcohol markers. I cut them all with the coordinating Penguins Outline Dies and assembled them on a clear acetate panel on the card front.

I added a back panel cut from Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a patterned paper strip from the Penguin Party 12×12 Collection Pack. I stamped another sentiment from the Penguin Party Collection Stamps in black ink and cut it with the coordinating Penguin Party Outline Dies. I added a small fish from the Phrases Die Cut Pieces and layered the panel on a paper from the Jade 12×12 Collection Pack.
